SIGNIFICANT NEW COPPER-GOLD EXTENSIONS AT ERNEST HENRY

Key highlights:

  • New drillholes as part of the ongoing Ernest Henry exploration program have intersected significant mineralisation widths within and below the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) mine life extension area including:

  • 157.0m (85.0m etw) grading 1.26g/t gold and 1.62% copper

  • 102.0m (71.0m etw) grading 1.06g/t gold and 1.39% copper

  • 90.8m (70.0m etw) grading 1.42g/t gold and 1.54% copper

  • These results will support the PFS and represent potential for further life of mine extension

  • These drill results are not reflected in the current Mineral Resource and will be incorporated in the annual Mineral Resource update to be released in the March 2023 quarter

  • Drilling is ongoing to test the continuity of mineralisation in sparsely tested areas up-plunge within the PFS extension area

Commenting on the new drill results, Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN) (“Evolution”)’s Executive Chair Jake Klein said:

“Ernest Henry is a world class operation and a key asset in the Evolution portfolio. The outstanding copper-gold grades and widths in the new drilling results demonstrate the exciting potential for mineralisation to extend upplunge and at depth. This showcases the significant opportunity that exists to extend the life of this high margin operation. Our exploration team is making good progress with the ongoing drilling program, which continues to focus on opportunities to demonstrate continuity and extensions to the orebody.”

These results will be included in Evolution’s annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statement ended 31 December 2022 to be released in the March 2023 quarter.

Surface drillholes targeting northern and southern extensions to interpreted mineralisation within the PreFeasibility Study (PFS) area have intersected significant mineralisation widths (Figure 1). Pleasingly, the northern fan of drillholes has intersected significantly wide mineralisation below the PFS area, increasing the potential for mineralisation to extend up-plunge and at depth.

Preliminary assay results from three of the four latest drillholes have been returned, confirming strong copper and gold mineralisation. Encouragingly, these intersections lie outside the current mineralisation interpretation. EH1276_D1 (Figure 2) is the southern-most intersection at Ernest Henry and has returned 102.0m (71.0m etw) grading 1.06g/t Au and 1.39% Cu . Whilst logging and assaying of the subsequent daughter drillholes are underway, the initial geological observations from these drillholes confirms the mineralisation seen in EH1276_D1. Assays from EH1276_D1 will be used in the 31 December 2022 Mineral Resource update.

Figure 2: Section 37,730mN (+/-50m) looking north showing the mineralisation intersected in EH1276_D1 which is much wider and extends further south than the current domain interpretation

Preliminary assay results for EH1226_EXT_D3 and EH1226_EXT_D6 from the northern fan of drilling have also been returned. The location and width of mineralisation intersected in these drillholes is significant as they lie outside the current mineralisation interpretation. Encouragingly, the width of these intersections increases the potential for an up-plunge extension of mineralisation. EH_1226_EXT_D3 is shown in Figure 3 and has returned 90.8m (70.0m etw) grading 1.42g/t Au and 1.54% Cu . EH1226_EXT_D6 has intersected significantly wide mineralisation approximately 50m north of EH1226_EXT_D3 (Figure 4) and has returned 157.0m (85.0m etw) grading 1.26g/t Au and 1.62% Cu .

The exceptional mineralisation intersected in EH1226_EXT_D6 appears to be supported by the subsequent daughter hole EH1226_EXT_D7. Initial geological observations of EH1226_EXT_D7 suggest significant mineralisation widths similar to EH1226_EXT_D6 (Figure 4). Whilst the assays from EH1226_EXT_D7 will not be returned before the 31 December 2022 Mineral Resource estimate, the geological observations will be included in the mineralisation interpretation.

The magnitude of this intersection further increases the potential for mineralisation to continue up-plunge. A follow up drilling program from underground is underway to test the continuity of mineralisation between EH1226_EXT_D6 and the up-plunge extent of interpreted mineralisation (Figure 5).

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as
limiting
the
broad
meaning
of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representation and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent

or
unusual

types (e.g. submarine nodules).

Diamond core drill holes are the primary source of geological
and grade information for the reported Mineral Resource for the
Ernest Henry Mine. Drilling has been completed between 1980
and 2022.

The diamond core is routinely sampled to geological contacts
and to predominantly 2m intervals from ½ core over the entire
length of the drill hole, producing approximately 5kg sample per
interval. Holes drilled from the surface and underground are
designed to intersect perpendicular to orebody mineralisation
where possible

Samples undergo further preparation and analysis by ALS
laboratories (Townsville and Brisbane), involving crushing to
2mm, riffle splitting and pulverising to 85% passing 75 microns.
Of this material a 0.4g sample is prepared for analysis via aqua
regia digestion and 50g for analysis via fire assay.

and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).

Drill types reported here are diamond core including HQ, NQ2
& NQ sizes yielding core diameters of 63.5mm, 50.6mm &
47.6mm respectively. Drill core is collected with a 3m or 6m
barrel and standard tubing.

All drillholes reported here have been oriented using an ezi
mark orientation system for structural and geotechnical
requirements.

exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

Current practice ensures all diamond core intervals are
measured and recorded for rock quality designation (RQD) and
core loss.

Core recovery through the ore portion of the deposit is high
(>99.5%). No bias is observed due to core loss.

nominal 85% passing 75 microns. A 0.4g sub-sample of
pulverised material is taken for ICP analysis via aqua regia
digestion and a 50g sub-sample is taken for analysis via fire
assay. The remaining pulverised sample is returned to site and
stored for future reference.

Sub-sampling is performed during the sample preparation
stage in line with ALS internal protocol.

Field duplicates are collected for all diamond core at a rate of
one in every 15 samples.

Comparison of field duplicates is performed routinely to ensure
a representative sample is being obtained and that the sample

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted
(eg

and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

Samples are assayed at ALS Brisbane for a multi element suite
using ME-ICP41, Cu-OG46 & MEOG46 methods, which
analyses a 0.4g sample in aqua-regia digestion with an ICP-
AES finish. Gold analysis is completed at ALS Townsville by
fire assay on a 50g sample with an AA instrument finish.
Analytical methods are deemed appropriate for this style of
mineralisation.

Historic quality control procedures include the use of six
certified standards (CRMs) as well as field duplicates inserted
at 1:25 ratio for all sample batches sent to the ALS laboratory.

The quality assurance program includes repeat and check
assays from an independent third party laboratory as deemed
necessary.

The ALS laboratory provides their own quality control data,
which includes laboratory standards and duplicates.

EHO currently uses five CRMs, pulverised and crushed blanks,
field, crush and pulp duplicates to monitor sample preparation
and analytical processes. The rate of insertion was 1:15 for
CRMs, 1:15 for blanks within mineralised units and 1:30 in
waste zones, Field duplicates were collected at 1:15 while
crush and pulp duplicates were at 1:25 samples.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data

All diamond drill holes are logged remotely on a laptop utilising
AcQuire software and stored digitally in an AcQuire database
on a network server.

Drill holes are visually logged for copper content prior to
sampling and assay. This visual assessment is used to verify
assay data.

The strong correlation between copper and gold enables
additional quality control checks to be enacted on returned
assays.

Procedures have been developed to ensure a repeatable
process is in place for transferring, maintaining & storing all
drilling, logging and sampling data on the network server, which
has a live upload to a local device and daily back up to an offsite
device.

Following review of the historical dataset, no adjustments have
been made to any assay data. All files are reported digitally
from ALS laboratories in CSV format, which is then imported
directly into the Acquire database. Checks of the assay results
in AcQuire and results returned from the laboratory are
performed at the completion of each drilling & sampling
campaign. Laboratory certificates for returned assays are
stored for future reference and checks against values contained
within the AcQuire database.

As of 06 January 2022, Evolution Mining Limited has 100%
ownership of the EHO.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

The EHM orebody was discovered by Western Mining
Corporation Limited in 1991. The size and potential of the
discovery became obvious with further drill definition following
soon after, leading to a Feasibility Study and subsequently the
open pit mine and mill. In 2006 a deep drilling campaign was
initiated to explore the down dip extension of the deposit
ultimately leading to the development of the current
underground mining project.

Data used in the current estimate is a compilation of several
phases of exploration completed since the early 1990s. This
data has been assessed for quality as outlined in ‘Section 1’
and deemed suitable for use as the basis of the Mineral
Resource estimate.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Ernest Henry Deposit is an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG)
hosted within a sequence of moderately SSE-dipping, intensely
altered Paleoproterozoic intermediate metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks of the Mt Isa group. Copper occurs as
chalcopyrite within the magnetite-biotite-calcite-pyrite matrix of
a 250 m by x 300 m pipe like breccia body. The breccia pipe
dips approximately 40 degrees to the South and is bounded on
both the footwall and hanging wall by shear zones. The main
orebody starts to split from the 1575 level into a South-East
lens, and from the 1275 level into the South-West lens. Both
lenses are separated from the main orebody by waste zones,
termed
the
Inter-lens
and
South-West
Shear
Zone,
respectively. The orebody is open at depth

o hole length.
Diamond:

Calculation for exploration results: Cut off grade of 0.7% Cu
with a minimum mineralisation composite length of 4m. The
maximum consecutive waste (below 0.7 g/t) cannot exceed 4m
however there is no limit to included waste. No upper cuts are
applied.

Significant intercepts are over 1.2% Cu length weighted
average.

incorporate short lengths of high-grade
results and longer lengths of low-grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are
reported in this release. No cut-off has been applied to any
sampling. All intervals have been length weighted.

All significant new drill hole assay data are reported in this
release. No cut-off has been applied to any sampling.\

No metal equivalent values are used
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
downhole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true width
not known’)

Confidence in the geometry of mineralisation intersections is
good and consequently, true widths are provided in this
release.
